How the VCR Plus+ system works
Whenever you want to record a TV program, 
all you need to do is look up the “PlusCode” 
number, a number assigned to each program 
published in the TV section of most 
newspapers, cable TV listings, and even TV 
GUIDE magazine.  Then, just enter the 
PlusCode number of the program you want 
and the VCR is automatically programmed to 
record that show.  It’s that simple.
How to set up your VCR
Setting up your VCR involves coordinating 
the TV channel number (the number you turn 
to on your TV or VCR to watch a program) 
with the guide channel (the number that is 
assigned to that channel in your program 
guide).
To find the guide channel numbers, look at 
the “Channel Line-up Chart” in the program 
guide for your area that features VCR 
PlusCode numbers.  It usually looks like the 
example to the right.
To set the guide channels, use the Channel 
Line-up Chart to check that the guide channel 
numbers match the TV channel your VCR 
receives.  For example, if HBO is listed in the 
Channel Line-up Chart as channel 33, and 
your VCR receives HBO on channel 5, you 
need to coordinate these numbers using the 
following procedure.  If the guide and TV 
channel numbers are the same, you can skip 
this procedure.
